Using Unmade’s platform, sustainability can be achieved through customisation, short runs and collaboration

Global fashion software company Unmade works to transform the industry through on-demand production. Sustainability is the goal and, using Unmade’s platform, can be achieved through customisation, short runs and collaboration.

Companies that work with Unmade provide consumers with customisation options. Via the customisation editor, shoppers see exactly what the garment will look like as they design their own. Unmade’s garment mapping technology makes sure that each bespoke aspect is reflected on screen in full colour, with correct lighting and shading and accurate fit and style.

On the production side of custom fashion, Unmade’s order management system (OMS) links directly with factories to calculate the best possible schedule.

The software also integrates seamlessly with a brand’s in-house systems to provide complete oversight of the entire process. Shipping information and processes are included in the OMS as well. Moniker, Rapha, Opening Ceremony and Christopher Raeburn are some the brands working with Unmade.

Takeaway:

As citizens continue to more thoughtfully engage with their consumption, the process of buying mass-produced, easily replaceable items is slowly being challenged by limited edition, local production. Curated customisation is one way organisations of all sizes can build increased sustainability into their brand. Springwise has spotted other fashion innovations aiming for a perfect, sustainable fit, including a 3D-scanning process that finds optimum design patterns, bringing fabric waste to zero.
